The road stretches out before you - a terrifying series of miles, with unskilled drivers weaving between the lanes and slick remnants of rain clinging to the pavement. Your fingers clench against the steering wheel; your foot presses warily against the pedal; and you find yourself scanning the surroundings, eyes flickering back and forth. Worry defines you.

The Green Bay Press Gazette reports that Ford has recently bolstered the Super Duty’s safety capabilities - offering drivers key tech features for their travels. No longer fear the road and its many challenges. These systems promise protection:

The Safety Canopy - this comprehensive suite of airbags shields both drivers and passengers (it includes dual-stage frontal, side-curtain, and seat-mounted impact modules).

Optional Features - among the available systems are radar sensors, blind spot monitoring technology, and a high-definition rearview camera.

Through these safety functions, the 2017 Super Duty can effortlessly examine, and respond to, changing road conditions. This provides drivers with the collision prevention they need - helping to greatly reduce the chance of an accident.

Luxury proves a rarity within the pick-up market. The wide-fendered platforms are known for their performances, not their tailored interiors. They’re engineered for power; they’re intended for the back-roads; and they’re meant to deliver a blue-collar sensibility.

With the release of the 2017 Super Duty, Ford is giving that collar a bit of leather stitching.

According to Business2Community, Ford has embraced a new kind of pick-up experience. The 2017 Super Duty has been transformed, offering a plush interior to lessen the strain of every mile. Leather textures define the cushions and headliners; integrated heating and cooling technologies provide custom seating support; and massage functions allow drivers to relax on the road, countering pain and ensuring proper muscle stimulation. To complete the top-tier effect, this platform also boasts chrome accents throughout the cabin - highlighting the sculpted side panels and sleek new dash.

When these elements combine, they elevate the 2017 Super Duty from everyday hauler to style showcase. Don’t fret, though, Alberta drivers: this interior upgrade doesn’t require a compromise of power. Ford still impresses under the hood, fusing this truck with a 6.2L V8 engine and a 10-speed automatic transmission. This promises up to 21,000 of conventional trailering.

It’s a sacrifice of economy - with engines siphoning gasoline, demanding more and more resources with every mile. To accommodate those heavy-duty payloads, they require sustenance; and drivers are forced to bear the burden of costly pump visits.

Ford thinks this unfair - which is why it’s bolstering the efficiency of its 2018 F-150 XLT!

According to The Drive, the F-Series is receiving an economy upgrade. The 2018 F-150 XLT - which features a 5.0L V8 engine - will now offer improved performance, with its economy rating rising to 19 (City) and 23 (Highway). This represents a 2 MPG increase, which could translate to hundreds of dollars saved every year.

Impressed?

Ford recognizes that pick-up drivers are too often forced to endure budget-busting miles. The 2018 F-150 XLT should, however, help to ease the burden. This truck will pair direct-injection technology with a new 10-speed automatic transmission to ensure precise fuel distribution. The V8 will be optimized.

It will also deliver power. The Drive notes that - despite the increase in efficiency - the new XLT will still provide robust performance, yielding 395 HP and 400 lb.-ft of torque. This truly is a perfect platform.

Numbers rarely prove your ally - revealing an ever-shrinking bank account, an ever-rising budget, and a waistline that seems to expand with each day. With the release of the 2017 F-450 Super Duty, however, you may find yourself swayed by mathematics. Ford has fused this pick-up with class-defining capabilities, and it will soon dominate the sales charts.

Car and Driver reports that the 2017 F-450 is a heavy-duty beast. Boasting both a 32-valve diesel V8 engine and a six-speed manual transmission, this platform roars down every road - with its direct-injection, turbocharged intercooling system ensuring maximum performance. It delivers incredible power, accommodating every conventional towing (21,000 pounds) and fifth-wheel trailering (31,100 pounds) need; and it also generates surprising deftness:

Too often do payloads prove impossible to carry - with pick-ups sagging beneath the weight, their beds straining and their tires spinning ineffectually. Despite their heavy-duty promises, each truck fails to bear the demands of a long haul; and they turn journeys into impossibilities, leaving drivers stranded.

According to Forbes, the pick-up platform has been tailored for the heaviest loads - with Ford redefining its entire chassis for optimal power. Aluminum now composes its panels, reducing overall weight by 700 pounds. This ensures superior handling, maximizing the electric-assisted steering and taking advantage of the sport-tuned suspension. A 6.7L diesel engine yields 440 HP and 925 lb.-ft of torque, while the ten-speed automatic transmission creates a throaty shifting capability.

It’s also economical. As Forbes explains, the new Super Duty provides 15 MPGs in the city - ranking it among North America’s most efficient trucks. This enables drivers to focus on their payloads, not the pump.

Luxury and power combine, with Ford delivering a new breed of off-road vehicle. Prepare for the EarthRoamer XV-LTS - the first Super Duty RV!

According to Ford Authority, the Super Duty is no longer a mere pick-up. It’s also a recreational vehicle - with noted aftermarket specialist, EarthRoamer, launching a fusion like no other. The XV-LTS mates the high-performance of the Lariat with the comfort of a motor home; and the result is truly unforgettable. Anchored by a 6.7L PowerStroke turbo-diesel engine, this platform holds both 90-gallons of fuel and 90-gallons of water. This allows it to achieve a stagger 990 miles per full tank, enabling drivers to Go Further with ease.

The heavy-duty F-550 chassis rolls across every terrain, utilizing an air-ride suspension and intuitive all-wheel-drive. Aluminum paneling promotes efficiency (eliminating excess weight from the cabin and allowing the RV to achieve 11 MPGs on the highway); while the innovative 1200-watt solar battery maintains optimum cabin conditions, powering all electrical, water, and HVAC systems. The XV-LTS is completely self-sustaining and promotes off-the-grid living for every F-Series fan.

It also promotes luxury. Inside the spacious model discover: dual-pane acrylic windows, hardwood trims, premium upholstery, and custom floorplans. Every inch can be tailored to the driver’s specifications, allowing for bold style and precise comfort.

Performance is no longer defined by a one-size-fits-all philosophy. Instead Ford is fusing its beloved F-Series with a comprehensive suite of powertrain options - allowing drivers to tailor every mile to their specific needs. The 2018 F-150 promises best-in-class adaptability.

According to Equipment World, Ford will soon provide drivers with the flexibility they crave. The 2018 F-150 will boast a wide selection of available features, offering access to premium power. Among the most notable options are:

Engine Choices: the new F-150 will offer a 3.3L Ti-VCT V6, a 2.7L EcoBoost V6, a 5.0L Ti-VCT V8, a 3.5L EcoBoost V6, and a 3.0L PowerStroke Diesel. These motors will allow it to accommodate all heavy-duty demands with ease.

Bed Technologies: for 2018, Ford will provide drivers with LED work-lights, an integrated tailgate step, stowable loading ramps, and a BoxLink cargo system. Take advantage of these features to improve payload capabilities and ensure more efficient storage.

Wheel Sizes: the F-Series will now offer wheels ranging from 17-inches to 22-inches. Drivers can decide which best suits their needs.

Through these enhancements - along with the now standardized Auto Start-Stop system - the 2018 F-150 should prove a powerhouse on the highway and the back-roads alike. To learn more about this pick-up contact us today.

The standards proved high - with the 2017 F-150 Raptor launched to universal acclaim. This twin-turbo beast roared down every highway, shaking the pavement with its 3.5L V6 engine and 10-speed automatic transmission. It had no equal.

It will soon, however, have a new sibling.

According to AutoBlog, Ford is partnering with aftermarket specialist F250R to transform the 2017 Raptor. The current powertrain - which yields 450 HP and 510 lb.-ft of torque - will be supercharged, with a new 6.7L diesel V8 engine promising:

Horsepower: Up to 580!
Torque: Up to 1,175 lb.-ft!

Hear that? It’s the sound of jaws dropping across Canada.

The F250R F-150 should become an undeniable force on the highway. This pick-up - appropriately named the Super Raptor - will provide drivers with peerless performance, boasting 40-inch all-terrain tires, an elevated suspension, and a bumper-less frame. These elements will combine to combat drag and ensure a more aerodynamic Baja experience. Combine that with Bilsten 1500 shocks and a newly raised (4.5-inches) chassis to further impress.

This isn’t a truck. This is an icon.

The F250R Super Raptor is currently available in limited release - but we anticipate that strong consumer interest will spark a nationwide campaign.

It’s a history of electrification. Throughout the decades, Ford has reinvented its fleet - stripping away traditional engines and bolstering the chassis with battery packs and hybrid cells. All of its signature vehicles (including the Fusion, the Escape, the Expedition, and the Focus) have been defined by efficiency.

Will the F-150 soon join them?

Rumors have recently emerged that Ford is considering an all-electric pick-up - with the F-Series’ robust V8 replaced with lithium-ion energy. This news has been met with both acclaim and curiosity, with critics already debating potential specs. The Drive, however, urges caution for the future.... because there are no immediate plans to transform the F-150.

Upon recently examining the capabilities of its battery packs, Ford has determined that the F-150 should (for now) remain a V8 platform. Lithium performance is simply unable to adapt to the trailering demands of North America, and it can’t generate the same responses as the current 2017 version:

An electric platform - while more efficient - would prove ill-suited to the back-roads and would force drivers to compromise their hauling abilities. Until Ford can replicate the success of its 2017 F-150, it will not pursue an alternative engine.

We expect, however, that the high interest in a hybrid pick-up will spur new technological developments - and, hopefully, we’ll be spared a lengthy wait.

With high-style comes an expectation of sedans - chic little cars defined by chic little lines. They’re sophisticated; they’re precise; and they’re thoroughly ill-suited for the world of back-road adventures.

In its quest to change the market, Ford is shattering this tradition - connecting drivers to the performance they need and the design they’ve too often been denied. The 2018 F-150 is coming.

According to Maxim, Ford will soon premiere its latest F-Series model. The 2018 F-150 (scheduled for a fall arrival) will serve as both workhorse and showcase, delivering a bold new look that will impress every driver. Among the fascia changes will be:

Billet-Milled Fenders.

A Twin-Bar Grille.

C-Shaped LED Headlamps.

A Curved Hood.

Chrome Detailing.

Each of these elements was carefully chosen to emphasize the 2018 F-150’s newly extended frame - with Ford highlighting the widened body and elongated front fenders. The effect is undeniably power and will surely catch the eye of every pick-up fan.

It already has our full attention!

No official specs for the 2018 F-150 have yet been revealed - but critics anticipate that Ford will pair its fresh look with a 5.0L V8 and a 10-speed automatic transmission.
